Definitions

  • This invention relates to novel 5-fluorouracil derivatives useful as an anti-cancer or anti-tumor agent. More particularly, this invention relates to 5-fluorouracil derivatives represented by the formulae: ##STR2## wherein R 1 represents an aryl group having 6 to 10 carbon atoms and R 2 represents an alkyl or alkenyl group having 9 to 23 carbon atoms.
  • 5-Fluorouracil is a compound which inhibits the formation of nucleic acids in a living body by its metabolic antagonism, and, therefore, is useful as an anti-tumor agent.
  • 5-Fluorouracil has been employed in the form of 1-N-substituted derivatives thereof, for example, the 1-N-tetrahydrofuranyl derivatives.
  • the tetrahydrofuranyl group at the 1-N-substituent is a specific group and the industrial production thereof involves high costs.
  • Other 1-N-substituted derivatives which have hitherto been proposed include 1-N-acetyl-5-fluorouracil (see U.S. Pat. No.
  • 1-N-benzoyl-5-fluorouracil see Gann, 65, 463, 1974
  • 1,3-di-N-benzoyl-5-fluorouracil see West German Patent 2,455,423.
  • 1-N-acetyl-5-fluorouracil is highly toxic
  • 1-N-benzoyl-5-fluorouracil cannot be synthesized on a reproducible basis
  • 1,3-di-N-benzoyl-5-fluorouracil does not show reproducible activity.
  • the inventors conducted extensive investigations in order to develop novel compounds which can be produced on an industrial scale without the above described disadvantages associated with conventional 1-N-substituted-5-fluorouracils. As a result, the inventors found that uracil derivatives which have superior physiological activity to that of 1-N-tetrahydrofuranyl-5-fluorouracil and which are also of low toxicity can be obtained by using a higher aliphatic acyl group as a 1-N-substituent or an aromatic acyl group as a 3-N-substituent, thereby reaching the present invention.
  • the present invention therefore, provides compounds represented by the formulae: ##STR3## wherein R 1 represents an aryl group having 6 to 10 carbon atoms and R 2 represents an alkyl or alkenyl group having 9 to 23 carbon atoms, which possess superior physiological activity over that of 1-N-tetrahydrofuranyl-5-fluorouracil.
  • FIGS. 1 to 6 show infrared absorption spectra of compounds according to the present invention.
  • aryl group having 6 to 10 carbon atoms used for R 1 designates groups such as a phenyl, p-nitrophenyl, p-tolyl, p-methoxyphenyl and a p-n-butylphenyl group, preferably a phenyl group.
  • alkyl group used to define R 2 designates a straight or branched chain alkyl group having 9 to 23 carbon atoms such as a nonyl, decyl, undecyl, dodecyl, tridecyl, tetradecyl, pentadecyl, hexadecyl, heptadecyl, octadecyl, nonadecyl, eicosanyl, heneicosanyl, docosanyl and a tricosanyl group, preferably a pentadecyl, hexadecyl or heptadecyl group.
  • alkenyl group used to define R 2 designates a straight or branched chain alkenyl group having 9 to 23 carbon atoms such as a 7-nonenyl, 7-pentadecenyl, 9-heptadecenyl and a 9-tricosenyl group.
  • the 5-fluorouracil derivatives according to the present invention can be prepared by reacting 5-fluorouracil with an aromatic carboxylic acid halide represented by formula (III):
  • R 1 is as defined above and X represents a halogen atom such as a fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine atom.
  • X represents a halogen atom such as a fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine atom.
  • the compounds of this invention can be prepared by reacting 5-fluorouracil with a reactive functional derivative of an organic acid represented by formula (IV):
  • the acylating agent having formula (III) which can be used in this invention includes chlorides and bromides of an aromatic carboxylic acid such as benzoic acid, toluic acid, p-nitrobenzoic acid, anisic acid, p-n-butylbenzoic acid and the like.
  • the acylating agent of formula (III) is used in an amount of about 1 to about 2 molar times the amount of 5-fluorouracil.
  • the reaction between 5-fluorouracil and the aromatic carboxylic acid halide of formula (III) is advantageously, but not mandatorily, carried out in a solvent in the presence of a base.
  • Suitable solvents are non-polar solvents such as dioxane, benzene and the like.
  • Preferred bases include organic bases such as pyridine, picoline, toluidine, triethylamine, dimethylaniline and the like. It is preferred to use these bases in an amount of from about 1 to about 20 molar equivalents with respect to the acylating agent employed, and the solvent in an amount of from about 1 to about 5 times the volume of the base used.

  • any unreacted reactants remaining in the reaction mixture are removed therefrom, whereafter the mixture can be purified, if necessary, by washing followed by either recrystallization from a solvent such as ethanol, isopropanol, benzene, ethyl acetate, hexane or the like, or chromatography using a silica gel column.
  • the organic acid represented by formula (IV) which can be used in this invention to introduce a substituent to the 1-N-position of 5-fluorouracil includes, for example, saturated aliphatic acids such as capric acid, n-undecanoic acid, lauric acid, n-tridecanoic acid, myristic acid, n-pentadecanoic acid, palmitic acid, margaric acid, stearic acid, n-nonadecanoic acid, arachidic acid, n-heneicosanoic acid, behenic acid, n-tricosanoic acid, lignoceric acid and the like, and unsaturated aliphatic acids such as decenoic acid, undecenoic acid, dodecenoic acid, tetradecenoic acid, hexadecenoic acid, octadecenoic acid, oleic acid, petroselinic acid, linolic acid, eicosenoic acid,

  • bases are organic bases such as pyridine, picoline, toluidine, triethylamine, dimethylaniline and the like. Such a base is generally used in an amount of from about 2 to about 20 molar equivalents based on the acid anhydride or acid halide used.
  • a solvent non-polar solvents such as dioxane, benzene and the like are most suitable. The solvent is suitably used in an amount of from about 1 to about 5 times the volume of the above described base.
  • the reaction between 5-fluorouracil and the reactive functional derivative of the compound of formula (IV) can generally be carried out under 1 to 5 atmospheres pressure at a temperature ranging from about 50° to about 150° C for a period of from about 0.5 to about 2 hours.
  • the reaction mixture can be washed with hexane, benzene, acetone or a like solvent to remove most of the organic acid and unreacted reactants, if necessary, whereafter the residue is purified by recrystallization from an appropriate solvent, such as benzene, toluene, ethyl acetate, diethyl ether, hexane and the like.
  • the structure of the compounds according to the present invention as illustrated by chemical formulae (I) or (II) can be determined by the chemical shift of the nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum of the 6-position proton (H 6 ).
